Shots include an establishing shot of the woods, a tracked pan to show the scene location, and medium shots of Susan and Brown talking and then running in opposite directions.
Monmento
The film shows a murder sequence in reverse order, beginning with a close-up photo developing to reveal a bloody scene. Over 40 seconds, the photo rewinds to show the full developed photo, then the unfinished image, allowing the viewer to see what actually happened without guessing. The sequence uses extreme close-ups to show the murderer's regret through the backwards developing photo, a bullet shell moving as if recently fired, and blood flowing fast to indicate a recent death.
Revenge
Susan has been in an abusive marriage to Detective Brown. She begins an affair with Detective Clouse to escape the abuse. Brown finds out and locks Susan in their house. Susan agrees to meet Brown to discuss getting back together, but brings a gun with the intent to kill him. She shoots Brown. When Clouse arrives, he tells Susan to run and takes the blame for the shooting, going to prison. Clouse escapes prison to reunite with Susan, and they leave together on a train.

This unsettling sequence draws the viewer in to understand the disturbing images and their significance to the plot and characters, particularly the religious themes and the relationship between the two main characters played by Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman.
